JetGo Australia has leased one ERJ 135 aircraft
from ECC Leasing, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Embraer. The
delivery of the 37-seat jet is scheduled for the end of this
month.
JetGo intends to deploy the ERJ 135 from cities
on the eastern seaboard to airfields located near natural resource
centers and mine sites across the country.
The carrier has acquired the aircraft to tap
into the growing demand for contract services to transport workers
who fly in and fly out (FIFO) of non-commercial airports.
In Western Australia alone, there are more than
1,000 mine, oil and gas sites that are serviced by FIFO contracts.
Arron Mulder, COO of JetGo, said, “The ERJ 135
gives us the range to access most points in the country and its
field performance lets us go where larger jets cannot.”
Embraer regional jets are increasingly being
used for contract flying in Africa and Australia, with the
platform providing a versatile and highly efficient solution for
the transport of personnel. This transaction with JetGo follows on
a previous private sale to an Australian company that placed their
ERJ 135 aircraft into operation in Africa supporting their
corporate transport requirements.
With the delivery of the ERJ 135 to JetGo,
Embraer will have 44 jet and turboprop aircraft flying with nine
airlines in Australia.
